♥ Bedtime prayer
Be still my thoughts from frantic pace.Just came out of an unexpectedly good QT :) It wasn't one of those cry-cry-cry ones or whatever, but today there was just this silent fire in my heart once again, to really press on to get to know God. I'm just quite happy now, despite me having to continue on my geog AA, so I decided to come over and blog while it's still fresh in my mind.
With tranquil calm now replace
that Sabbath peace my soul will taste:
no longer racing in my haste.
Be still my thoughts. Be calm. Be smooth.
Become as a reflecting pool
that wisdom pure of God be seen
clearly by the moon’s full beam.
Be still my thoughts for God will write
upon your face this moonlit night
the message of eternal life.
Be still my thoughts. Be calm this night.
Be still my thoughts, it’s time to rest.
No challenge now; no pending test.
Release in love, release the rest.
We’re safe in Spirit’s blessed nest.

I don't know hahaha how DO you describe the presence of God? :) It was just an amazing hour of prayer, and I prayed for quite a number of random things and well, I'm glad. I haven't prayed for one hour in quite some time, like, just sit down and pray and pray and pray and pray! :) It's really really different I think.
Anyway I was just really reminded today [by more than one person] to find rest in God once again. Maybe serving God's become an obligation. Not so much that...but it's just that I've been serving God and serving God and serving God, and I forget to find peace, find rest in Him once again. So today I was just reminded that God is not only our Savior, but also our Refuge.
That said, I'm really really really sorry Crys :S It's already almost 5AM and I will go sleep now. Promise!
Where can I go from Your presence
Under Your wings I take refuge
Your Spirit lives within my heart
I know we'll never be apart
